Seven people were asphyxiated, one fatally hurt by jumping from a window, 'and live others' more or loss Injured by a, llro In the resldenco of James H. Armtgor, a prominent Jeweler, nt 1800,Charlos street, yostorday morning. The dead are! James U. Armlgor, aged K; William 11. Riley, his son-in-law, aged 80; Richard lUley. son of W. B. Rlloy, ngod 4; Marian Ulley, daughtor of W. 11.

Virginia Armlger, aged 25, nnklo slightly sprained In jumping; Ida Whiting, colored servant, slightly burned und suffering from inhalation of smoko, will recover. The house In which tho holocaust oc curred Is one of a row of granite front res idences belonging to tho A. S. Abell es tate, on Charles Btreet.just north of Lafay ette avenue. It Is four stories high, and at tho time of the Uro was filled with costly furniture and much rare brlc-u-brao, plate and unltjUo jewelry, of which Mr. Armiger was an enthusiastic collector. In the house were just thirteen persons. Of theso ten wcro members of the Armlger house hold, two were sorvants, and tho other, Mr. Manuel, was a guest who has boeu visiting tho Armlger family for tho past two or threo days. It was his purpose to have returned to his home in New York Snturday night, but Mr. Armiger pre vailed upon him to remain until Monduy. All of these peoplo were In thoir bed rooms on the upper floors, some of them being partially dressed, when fire was dis covered Issuing from a partition In tho cellar. It hnd ignited from nn overheated furnace lluo, and was first seen by Louis Whiting, tho colored man of all work.Avho was at the time cleaning tho front steps. Whiting ran to tho adjacent corner aud gave the ularm to a pollcemun, and hur ried back to tho house, entered tho front door, closed It behind him nnd ascended to tho second floor, whero Mr. and Mrs. Armlger had their bedroom. The house was by this timo filled with u donso, stilling smoke, and when tho negro und Mrs. Armiger attempted to descend they found It Impossible. Whiting aided Mrs. Armlger to the front wlnuow anu helped her to roach a small balcony In front, upon which ho placed hor and re turned to tho aid of Mr. Armlgor. Ho found the latter had gone, and cume back to Mrs. Armlger, who, cludin nothing but her night clothes was shivering on the narrow-balcony and shrieking in agonized tones for help. Half u dozen men who were passing has tened to tho power house of the Charles street cable car lino, a block below, and procured a short ladder. When they re turned they found Deputy Fire Chief Mc Afee, a noted life saver, who quickly mounted the ladder. It was not long enough, but by standing on tho upper most round he could reach the frightened .womuu. As he attempted to lift her from tho balcony her scanty ciotiung cuugnt on nn obstruction and she fell forwurd with her whole weight upon tho outstretched arm of the fireman. Just then tho ladder slipped, and ever'youo below expected to see both tho rescuer and the woman he was trying to save dashed to death on the pavoment below. By a tremendous effort, however, MoAfee steadied himself, and, holding Mrs. Armlgcr with on hand, grasped the balcony with tho other. Hang ing thus, ho slowly replaced the ladder with his feet and brought the now faint, lug woman down In safety. In tho meantime tho other Inmates of the front rooms were orowdlug to the win dows making tho most piteous appeals for help. The peoplo below shouted to them not to jump, but Alice WllllaniB disre garded their warnings, and with an up palling shriek sprang from tho fourth story window and struck tho stone stops full upon her forehoad, fracturing her skull, and sustaining ot-or Injuries from which she will dlo. An attempt was mado to succor tho other unfortunates by means of the doorway on Charles street, but when the policemen burst It lu they were mot by such a volume of smoke and flame that they were driven back. In a reur room on tho second floor were Eleanor und Virginia, the unmarried daughters of Mr. Armiger. They were partially dressed, but bo rapid was the f prcad of the flames that they bad no time to escape by tho stairway. In their ex tremity they loaned far out of the rear window and cried for help. A neighbor came to their aid, nl umlr hi oonl headed directions Miss Virginia lowered her youngor slater with a Bheet,aud, throw ing a mattress out of the window, leaped to the yard below. She alighted In safety, and beyond the shock and a slight Injury to her ankle esaaped unhurt. By this time the dromon had reached the scene, and in a twinkling had reared long ladders up to the windows, both front und rear. Up these they swarmed, and in a few minute tho remaining In mates of the doomed house were being carried out. On tho stairway leading from the second to tho third floor was found tho body of Mr. Armlger, with that of bis little grandchild, Richard Riley, clasped tightly lu hU arms, showing that the old man had made a gallant attempt to rescue. the boy at the cost.of his own mo. in tne lront, room on wo mm! Uoor was found tho corpse of Mr. Manuel. Ho, too, had the body of n child lu his arms, telling nnother story of unrequited hero ism. lu the rear room, on the third floor, lying on the bed, tho liromen found the deudhodyof Mr. Riley. By his sldo lay his wife, breathing faintly, silie was hur ried Into the open air In tlmo to save her life. In another room wcro tho bodies of Mrs. Champlln and her 3-yenr-old son, while upod tho upper floor tho firemen found Ida Whiting, tho colorod sorvaut, uueouscloUs1 from smoke, but not seriously hurt. ' The Injured were taken to the home of neighboring friends, with tho exception of tho servants, who were conveyed to tho city hospital. The dead were carried across tho street to tho residence of Dr. E. B. Batoholcr. Mr. Armiger was burned to n crisp nrdutid the upper part of his body. Mr. Rllcy'fl burils wero chiefly about his neck, facu and shoulders. Mr. Manuel's horribly Boarrcd face and body was twisted to one sldo as though he had died only after making n supremo effort for life. Little James Chafnplin, grandson of Mr. Arml ger, wa9 a blackened cinder. Even the throat and nostrils were burned Inside. Tho two Riley children wero killed by tho suffocating smoke. They were not as badly burned ns tho others, but their faces were blackened from the bursting of blood vessels, and (ho crimson fluid stained their blackened night gowns. Little Marian's golden hair was matted about her face whom it had not been burned off. Strands of tho silken tresses were embedded In the flesh. Mrs. I.etltla Riley, who Is so cruelly be reaved, is lying nt tho homo of Dr. Hateh elcr In a Miml-stupor, Kiomiiigly uncun bcIous of her Irreparable loss, and suffer ing great physical agony. Mrs. Armlger nnd her other surviving daughters aro at tho homo of James West, No. 5 West North ayenuc, ull completely prostrated by their terrible experiences. No uue has yet told tho suffering wife nnd mother of tho death of those so dear to her, though she suspects that her husband lost his life.
